Explanation

 The idiom "stabbed in the back" means to be betrayed by someone you trusted, often in a harmful or unexpected way

Explanation

The Gawadar International Airport was constructed under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

It is the largest airport in Pakistan by area

Occupying 4,300 acres (17 km2) of land

Opened 20 January 2025

Explanation

Explanation

A non-traditional security threat refers to issues that are not related to traditional military threats like war or invasion.

Climate change is considered non-traditional

Because it poses a significant threat to Pakistan's stability and security,

But it's not a direct military threat like an invasion

Explanation

If the common difference $d = 0$, the sequence is constant.

General formula for an arithmetic sequence:
$a_n = a + (n - 1)d$

For $d = 0$
$a_n = 3 + (n - 1) times 0 = 3$

So, the 5th number $$a5=3a_5 = 3

Explanation

This looks like an arithmetic sequence problem.
If the first term $a = 3$ and last term $l = 18$, and there are 4 numbers in between, the total terms $n=6$ (3 + 4 + 18).

The terms:
$a_1 = 3$
$a_6 = 18$
Number of terms $n = 6$

Common difference $d = frac{18 - 3}{6 - 1} = frac{15}{5} = 3$

The 3rd middle number is the 4th term:
$a_4=a_1+3d=3+3\times 3=12$

Explanation

To solve the equation:

$$x^2 + 16 = 0$$

Step 1: Isolate x^2

$$x^2 = -16$$

Step 2: Take the square root of both sides

$$x = pm sqrt{-16}$$

Since $sqrt{-16}$

involves the square root of a negative number, we use imaginary numbers:

$$x = pm 4i$$x=±4i
